Letter from LP to C. B. van Niel telling van Niel that to reliably test for such minute amounts of tungsten would be difficult to impossible and that a calorimetric or spot test might be more sensitive. Dr. van Niel could also add tungstic acid in equal parts to the molybdic acid, for more molybdinum would be required in the presence of more tungsten. [Reply to van Niel November 28, 1949]

Letter from LP to Dr. C. B. Van Niel [addressed: “Dear Kees”], Hopkins Marine Station, RE: Apologizes for his late reply. Discusses the finer points of performing an experiment of spectroscopic analysis for tungsten. Suggests other methods of experimentation to find the same information. [Note from C. B. Van Niel to LP November 28, 1949] [Filed under LP Correspondence: #423.1]

Letter from LP to Dr. Lewis E. Miller RE: States that the requested information can be found in “The Nature of the Chemical Bond” as well as in several papers, one of which he will send. [Letter from Miller to LP December 16, 1949] [Filed under LP Correspondence: Box #255.16, file:(M: Correspondence, 1949)]
